Chenango Union, July 12, 1885
Sherburne [Chenango Co., NY] has lost one of its most exemplary citizens. Charles Hart, for many years a resident of that village, and widely known as a manufacturer of stone ware, died on Saturday morning, June 20th, aged sixty-six years. His illness was short and his death unexpected. Says the News; "Mr. Hart was a public spirited man and took an active part in the affairs of the village. At the organization of Sherburne Union Free School, December 17th, 1866, he was elected one of the trustees and was continued in office until October, 1875, when he declined a reelection. He took an active interest in school matters, and was especially efficient as a member of the committee on repairs. His greatest zeal, however was shown in his efforts to protect the village against fires. he was long a fireman himself, and traveling widely in the business of selling his wares, he learned all that could be learned about village water works, and it is owing to him as much as any one man that Sherburne village is now supplied with water. He was a trustee of Sherburne village in 1863, 1867, 1871 and 1873, and president in 1874. His funeral was attended from his late residence, Monday afternoon, by a large delegation of relatives and friends. The fire department attended in a body." Deceased had many warm friends in Norwich, and on his frequent business visits to this village he was always heartily welcomed. Unassuming in manner there was a cordiality and cheeriness about him which attracted friends. In politics he was a Democrat and he stood by his party through evil and good report. "Peace to his ashes."

He had uninterrupted good health nearly all his life, and first became aware that he had a heart disorder on recent visit to Fairport where he was in consultation with Dr. Clapp. In walking from the railroad station he felt a spasm in the region of the heart that warned him of its dangerous nature. He informed his son, Dr. Charles R. Sumner, of his condition and made a disposition of his affairs in anticipation of a fatal ending of the complaint. He had been confined to his bed since a week ago Sunday and had no expectation of recovery, but calmly awaited the final summons. Drs. White, Hurd, Keegand and J.W. Buell were in attendance on him.
Dr. Sumner was born in Otsego county, February 15th, 1821. He studied medicine in the New York medical college, graduated in homeopathy at the Hahnemann medical college of Philadelphia, and read with his uncle Dr. Bronson, of Otsego county. After practicing his profession in Gilbertsville for ten years, he came to this city in 1856, and entered on a career in which he rapidly won the highest distinction. He was president of the county homeopathic medical society, a member of the New York state homeopathic medical society, the American institute of homeopathy, vice-president of the State society, and received the honorary degree of doctor of medicine from the state regents. Dr. Sumner was twice married; his first wife, Mary J. White, died in 1880, and he married Helen M. Rowe in 1884. The surviving members of his family are his wife, one daughter, M. Estella, and his son, Dr. C.R. Sumner. he also leaves four brothers, Sherman B., of Chenango county, Daniel and Albert of Canisteo, and Dr. C.G., of Norwich, N.Y. He was a member of the congregation of St. Peter's Presbyterian church. A meeting of the Monroe County Homeopathic medical Society will be held this evening at 8:30 o'clock at the Powers hotel to take action on the death of Dr. Sumner. Dr. Sumner was held in high esteem by the physicians of Rochester. Post-Express reporters have obtained the following tributes frm those who knew him best:
Dr. E.H. Hurd: "The death of Dr. Sumner is a surprise to me. I saw him but a few days ago, looking well, and therefore I am shocked at the intelligence of his death. Dr Sumner was one of the best men and best physicians I ever knew. He was regarded among the ablest physicians of the city and his clientage was large. He was greatly esteemed by all his patients and secured this good feeling by his conscientious, painstaking care and attention to them. He was a zealous friend of homeopathy and was one of the prime movers in the homeopathic hospital project, having been chairman of the committee in charge of the matter. He was a fair man, free from prejudice and believed in according every man his rights. He was devoted to his professional duties and was at all time ready and willing to make personal sacrifices for the accommodation and comfort of his patients. he had a host of personal friends who will deeply mourn his sudden death."
Dr. Herbert M. Dayfoot: "Dr. Sumner's loss to the community is a great one. He was good citizen and a successful practitioner. In the profession he was among the best. His devotion to his patients was intense. No physician ever gave greater care to those in his charge. His patients loved him and they had good reason to. He was a man of charitable impulses, of which he daily gave evidence. In 1878 he was honored by being recommended by the state homeopathic society for the regents' degree. He was a man of high character and great ability." --Rochester Post-Express, May 5.
